時又有獨孤武都，謀叛王世充歸國，事覺誅死。 At that time Dugu Wudu also plotted to defect from Wang Shichong to the Tang; when the plot was discovered he was put to death.

武都子師仁，年始三歲，世充以其年幼不殺，使禁掌之。 Wudu's son Shiren was only three years old; Wang Shichong spared him because of his age and had him imprisoned under guard.

乳母王氏，號蘭英，請髡鉗，求入保養，世充許之。 His wet nurse Wang Shi, known as Lanying, asked to be shorn and shackled so she could enter the prison to care for him; Wang Shichong consented.
